I feel so much better being able to talk to others who are going through the same things that I am. I was originally 285 when I had the surgery and it was prompted by my type 2 diabetes. I can say that my diabetes is gone and when I reach 185 I will have my goal completed. I now weigh 241 as of yesterday. My surgery was November 22, 2005. The biggest thing I am going through is the instant gratification bug. I want all the weight gone now. I am sure I am not alone.

Well, Larry, I gotta say...WLS is about as instant as you can get and still be alive! Enjoy, buddy! You're doing a great job!

The instant gratification would be nice...but once you are at goal,it is different. I feel like the ride is over. I know that now that I am at goal...the thrill is over...it is kinda depressing. Enjoy the losing...it may be slow, but soon you will be at goal and wonder where time went.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

I can sure relate with the instant gratification thing. I hate still being fat! But I'm trying to enjoy the process......each size I can know I'll never revisit it. Next thing you know I'll just be chubby.
